After Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a goal and assist for his 29% owners in United’s 3-0 stroll at the Stadium of Light, we now make our way to Goodison Park as two of the most in-form frontmen in the top-flight go head-to-head.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku looks to score for the seventh successive home match, having struck ten times in the previous six in front of his own supporters.

Over 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers have pinned their captaincy hopes on the Belgian, making him the fourth most popular pick for the Gameweek.

Jamie Vardy rolls up on the back of five goals and a pair of assists in the last five Gameweeks.

Backed by over 16% of FPL managers, the Leicester City frontman faces a tough task against a defence with five clean sheets in their last six home fixtures.

Yet with the Toffees hit hard by injuries and suspension at the back, Craig Shakespeare’s side will fancy their chances of claiming a sixth straight league win since the departure of Claudio Ranieri.

In saying that, it remains to be seen whether the decision to bench Riyad Mahrez will backfire, with the Foxes manager clearly having one eye on the midweek Champions League encounter with Atletico Madrid.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Play Llorente(wat) or Zaha(LEI)?

      Swansea looks doomed .. u have siggy .. I'd play Zaha

        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That's the current thinking. They were terrible vs West Ham.
        Watford are a funny team with some high scoring games.

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      Zaha

    5. RoysCallerAnne

      Zaha, given this Leicester defensive performance.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That's my thinking. Expecting Zaha to smash it tomorrow to annoy me some more.

      Both - watford defense decimated and Leicester Defense looks terrible today- and they are focusing on CL

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes if you don't have your WC
      If you have WC, I would get Barragan of Boro for DGW (advice of Lawro). I will get Yoshida on WC week 35.

      1. martyhan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah barragan I'll get instead as i still have my WC. Cheers

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes a successful TC would be a great rank boost

    3. The Wizard of Ozil

      Forshaw

      There was a time Baines was fondly known as "Budget Baines" and offered great value, pinging in delicious crosses with that left peg of his. Now he should just retire and join a Beatles tribute band.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I foresee him becoming fat and turning into Hurley from Lost

      2. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        When was he known as 'budget' ?

        1. Ben the Mee
            8 years, 10 months ago

            08/09. It's been a while, not sure if he was labelled that around these parts or another blog I used to frequent (NCNB)

      3. George James

        Aguero owners keeping or shipping for Kane?

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Shipping

        2. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Scored 5 out of last 6 and great remaining fixtures....

        3. FALCAO & MOU
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Sold him, it looks like he can't score more than one a game under Guardiola. And there are many other options available now.

      4. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 8 Years

        Why is slimani wearing gloves, who does he think he is

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Slimani.

      5. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Has the sun set on Son?

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          No. Can't drop him in this form. Expect same formation as last game, but with Kane replacing Janssen

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah but I have Alli and plan on getting Kane...

      6. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Another goal from Luka looks unlikely, restricted to wings... -_-

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Good timing...

        Ross Barkley's standard game

        2 minutess of brilliance
        88 minutes of pure crapness

      8. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thoughts on

        A. Vardy+ Walker >> Kane + Toby (to fund Kane)

        B. Vardy + Ayew + Siggy >> Kane + Albrighton + Coutinho

      9. ameenkw
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Heaton / Pickford
        Alonso / Baines / McAuley / Maguire / Kingsley
        Siggy / Eriksen / Alli / Sanchez / De Roon
        Lukaku / Defoe / Origi
        2 FT & 2.2 ITB

        Current thinking: Defoe + Siggy -> Kane + King .. Any other better suggestions?

      10. FALCAO & MOU
